The ACIM RDK takes advantage of the integrated features of the Stellaris microcontroller and the processing power of the ARM Cortex-M3 core to implement both sine wave control and energy-efficient space vector modulation control. The graphical control program allows experimenting with varying drive parameters and observe the effect on motor performance.

The AC Induction Motor Reference Design Kit includes the following product features:

Source code for main control algorithms including space-vector modulation and sine control

Advanced motor control for three-phase and single-phase AC induction motors

Accelerated integration process through a flexible platform

Active braking circuit

Active in-rush control circuit

Easily change line filter, bus capacitors, and JTAG interface

Accurate current sensing using split low-side current sensing

Several isolated control input options including:

Virtual COM port through integrated USB port

Windows GUI application for configuration, control, and monitoring

Logic-level serial port

Speed potentiometer and mode switch

Speed and position monitoring using quadrature encoder/tachometer input
